Be the Hardest Working Demon Cultivator!

Chapter 370: 214. The Daily Life of a Serious Demon Cultivator_2

After finishing speaking, Tan Shuchang placed the sign on the table.

The man was instantly stunned, not just him, but also everyone around. One by one, they all looked at Tan Shuchang with utter astonishment.

Then, upon realizing that the one holding the sign was a somewhat dazed young girl, the people around suddenly became somewhat indignant.

To bully a fool like this, it’s simply inhuman!

At this moment, Dongdong, who had always been expressionless, remained completely without any emotional change.

That the Demon Cultivator would do this was entirely within her expectations.

After all, if this Demon Cultivator could act like a decent person, she wouldn’t have been driven to such anger by him back then, unable to help but draw her sword and chase after him to hack repeatedly.

At this point, the man behind the table also finally came back to his senses. He scornfully glanced at the young man in front of him and then said, officiously, “Lan Shouwang, fifteen errors, waiting for the Leg-Seeking Ghost once, voluntarily conversing with the Leg-Seeking Ghost twice… Survival all depends on luck, grade D, we should deduct three points of Yin virtue, but considering it is your first time entering the ghostly world, one point of Yin virtue is awarded.”

Upon hearing this, Tan Shuchang’s eyes revealed a hint of contemplation. It seemed that he and this girl were not illegal residents in this world.

It seemed that the senior who had sent him and this girl here had directly registered them into this world.

Then, without lifting his head, the man spoke, “This matter is settled, everyone disperse.”

As his voice fell, the three people behind the table instantly turned into a wisp of light gray mist and scattered. The people who had been surrounding the table seemed nonplussed.

Most of the group immediately left, while some of them couldn’t help but glare at Tan Shuchang, including a man and a woman who stepped forward with a look of displeasure and said, “Sir, the way you conduct things is really unreasonable! If you wanted to change something, you should have changed your own! Why harm others?”

This was someone who couldn’t stand the Demon Cultivator’s actions and had come over to speak out for justice.

Upon hearing this, Dongdong couldn’t help but feel delighted. However, she still kept a poker face; after all, she couldn’t let the Demon Cultivator notice that she was taking pleasure in his misfortune.

However, her moment of happiness disappeared in the next second.

Because the just-speaking man continued, “Look at this girl, she already looks foolish enough! Yet you still harm her like this, doesn’t your conscience hurt?”

Dongdong: “…”

She was just expressionless, not really foolish-looking!

Thus, to salvage her reputation, the girl quickly spoke up, “He is a fool, and he always acts so inexplicably. I’m already used to it, you don’t have to mind.”

Tan Shuchang, who was inexplicably called a fool: “…”

He glanced at the girl and then said, “This is my sister; she is mute. Whatever she says, don’t take it to heart.”

Dongdong immediately shot a look at Tan Shuchang, and her clear, beautiful eyes conveyed a clear message — you’re the mute!

Tan Shuchang returned her look with one of his own — you’re the fool!

At this moment, due to the responses from Tan Shuchang and Dongdong, the man and woman who had stepped forward now had peculiar expressions; it seemed this situation was not as they had imagined.

“What exactly is going on with you two?” the woman couldn’t help but ask, but after speaking, she realized the lack of manners and quickly gave a simple bow and introduced herself, “I am Dai Qian’er, this is my elder apprentice brother Chen Yunfeng. We don’t belong to any notable sect, just an insignificant one. Apart from my father, there’s only me and my elder apprentice brother in our sect.”

“So it’s Miss Dai Qian’er, Brother Chen. Lan Shouwang has seen both of you,” Tan Shuchang gave a bow in return.

“Dongdong.” The girl followed Tan Shuchang’s lead in bowing, then pointed at him and said, “He wanted to try his luck and see if he could get by deceptively.”

“The two of you really shouldn’t have! Although the verdict on the sign is issued by those three Immortal Path envoys, it’s actually determined by the Ghost King,” Chen Yunfeng sighed helplessly, “when we entered the ghostly world before, although the Ghost King didn’t appear, how we behaved from the beginning to end was always under the Ghost King’s scrutiny.” @@novelbin@@

“Now you’re fine, but little sister Dongdong will have to meet the Ghost King again!” Dai Qian’er followed, her expression also one of helplessness.

“No worries, when the time comes, I’ll go in place of my sister; I believe the Ghost King isn’t unreasonable,” Tan Shuchang said cheerfully.

“Oh? Brother Lan, you think the Ghost King is a reasonable person?” At that remark, Chen Yunfeng was taken aback.

“Yes!” Tan Shuchang nodded, and as he spoke, his gaze imperceptibly lingered on Chen Yunfeng for a moment.

“Brother Lang truly is a remarkable person. How about this, since there’s still some distance back to Skeleton City, why don’t you two join my junior sister and me on our way back?” Chen Yunfeng also showed a smile and took the initiative to invite Tan Shuchang and his companion.

“Since Brother Chen has invited us, we will respectfully comply,” Tan Shuchang nodded.

Immediately, the four of them headed toward Skeleton City.

On the way, Chen Yunfeng spoke about a variety of topics, including the Ghost Kings who dominated their own territories, and the formidable Phoenix Tree Mountain.

As for Skeleton City, Chen Yunfeng also had much to mention.

While discussing it, he compared other cities to Skeleton City. He said that Heartless City was freer than Skeleton City, that Skins City had more people than Skeleton City, and that Hands and Feet City had the most people who had entered the path of cultivation.

After listening to him, Tan Shuchang felt that this world was even more bizarre than the strange game world he’d encountered.

After all, these names were too ominous to hear.

Soon, Tan Shuchang and the group of four arrived back at Skeleton City.

It turned out that Skeleton City was not far from the place where one entered the ghost world, just ten miles in total. Although the journey there was desolate and barren without a blade of grass in sight, they didn’t encounter anything odd.

That was until they entered Skeleton City.

This Skeleton City was just as the name implied, and was no different from the mixed habitation of immortals and mortals that Tan Shuchang knew, much like Qinghe City at the foot of Black Heart Mountain. Inside, there were those who had entered the path of cultivation and those who had not.

Among them, half had not embarked on the path of cultivation, while the other half had.

The reason for this was that in this place, cultivation was not necessarily a good thing, but neither was it entirely a bad thing. Once one stepped into the path of cultivation, they would see various oddities.

Thus, cultivators were more likely to be entangled by these strange occurrences.

Those who had never cultivated at all, or who only practiced martial arts, were different. Because they could not see the oddities, they were far less likely to be entangled by them.

“How strange, why are there so many ghosts here?” Dongdong whispered to Tan Shuchang.

Skeleton City was truly deserving of its name.

From the outside, nothing seemed out of the ordinary, but once he and the little girl entered Skeleton City, they saw all kinds of skeletons everywhere.

Some were laid out on the ground, some hung on the walls, and others scattered in basins.

They were visible everywhere.

However, as eerie as these skeletons were, they clearly kept to themselves and did not interfere with the people inside the city.

“There are even stranger things than this,” Tan Shuchang said, isolating his voice from the surrounding noise, before responding.

“What are they?”

“The cultivation system here…” Tan Shuchang began, explaining that he hadn’t looked carefully before because they were flying too quickly. But now that he had let his guard down and felt around carefully, he realized that the cultivation system here was extremely bizarre.

Here, entering the path of cultivation was literally stepping through a gateway.

In Skeleton City, there was an actual gate of cultivation. With just a bit of Yin virtue, one could pass through this gate and become a cultivator.

And to cultivate and enhance one’s strength, a cultivator would need more Yin virtue.

For instance, to increase one’s power, Yin virtue could be used to add a Divine Skills slot to oneself.

Only with this Divine Skills slot could one then acquire Divine Skills.

Besides, the Divine Skills acquired could only be used a certain number of times each day. However, this number of times could be increased with Yin virtue.
